fix(ci): soft public_demo budget + re-pin demo_composition lane

Cold Act runners exceeded the 60s public_demo wall-clock (78s) and
failed lane-shas. Align runtime_under_budget with soft-by-default /
HARD_BUDGET opt-in. Re-pin demo_composition to c8bb37e0 after intentional
report drift; regenerate CLAIMS.md.
